EGEE 102 Energy Conservation

And Environmental Protection

Introduction

Course Objectives
The objective of the course is to apply
energy efficiency concept in day to day life
in order to save Money and Energy and
thereby protect the Environment.

By obtaining necessary knowledge and

information on the main operating principles
of devices/appliances that are in common
use and information on which to make the
right decision in selecting the most energy
efficient and economical choice

What is Energy?
Energy is a property of matter
that can be converted into work,
heat or radiation.

Energy Scale
BTU-One BTU is the equivalent to the energy
required to raise the temperature of one
pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

Calculation of Your
Energy Consumption
List the appliances that you use at
home. Note down their power
consumption and estimating the time of
usage, calculate approximate energy
consumption for a month.
